I feel like a flashback sometimes
Fading out of focus as I drift out of your mind
It's not enough to make me wonder
Why you sly and what you tryin' to prove
There's lots of other magistrates polling my approval
I feel like a plaything to you
Crushing my emotions so you can get to sleep
You have me here to share your mistakes
and in victory you're easily forgiven
There's all the sins you don't commit to put me on my back
But you understand the rites of my eyes
You're like the northern lights
But I've never seen them once in my life
You've been here all the time
I take from you to keep me haunted
Possess you with my fingers and words you wanted said
I take it you're not pleased to notice
how I vanish slowly every day
I take the path that's least resolved to keep my breathing shallow
But you understand the rites of my eyes
You're like the northern lights
But I've never seen them once in my life
You've been here all the time, all the time
(instrumental)
The sunset is an early warning
of the demons and the diamonds that occupy my mind
Maybe it's this pilgrim's progress
Maybe it's a time honoured lie
Maybe all you need is me to build your castle higher
But you understand the rites of my eyes
You're like the northern lights
But I've never seen them once in my life
You've been here all the time, all the time

I had you figured out
Before the lights went out
Before the door was closed
Before you fell asleep
These girls like you just the same
Biological coffee stains
On a worn out old flannel sheet
On a mattress that I'm sleeping on
I won't be misunderstood
that we are all damaged goods
You made me feel so alive
Just like I am #5
In a story or song unsung
In a long string of strangers yet to come
You tell me I mean so much
That's why you're not paying dutch
Well, if that's the honest truth
Then why are these pictures still around?
I can't be misunderstood
that we are all damaged goods
I don't mean to sound unkind,
I just have a haunted mind
My lady so debonair
And Captain Devil-may-care
Find out that I'm keeping score
And knowing my own runs don't add up
I'd kill to be in his shoes
Not singing "where you been blues"
The knife that you twist and turn
Don't worry, I dig the burn
I won't be misunderstood
that we are all damaged goods
The names on your marquee change
Your face, it just stays the same
You're still young and beautiful
Excusable, innocent, and free
But who's this you're standing with?
This panicky last ditch pick
Surprise of the century
He kind of looks just like me
I've done what I thought I should
But we're all still damaged goods
